Healthy Tip!
Exercise is awesome. It keeps us fit, gives us energy, prolongs our life and strengthens its quality. The two most common roadblocks to successfully incorporating it into our schedules deal with time and energy. The solution? Exercise first thing in the morning. Over 90% of people who exercise consistently do it in the morning. It jump starts your metabolism, helps to regulate your appetite throughout the day, and keeps you feeling energized. Also, if you exercise at around the same time each morning, and you wake up at the same time consistently, your body’s endocrine system and circadian rhythms adjust to that. This makes it easier to wake up and allows you to feel more rested and energized not only for your workout, but for your whole day. Even if all you have time for is a brisk ten minute walk in the morning, do it. Your body will thank you.
